Hi everyone.
I'm currently looking to purchase a new GTO. I currently have an '04 Mustang that I have added every bolt-on mod available, only to squeeze 302 hp from the dyno...pathetic. And ever since I test drove the '04 Cobra, my car seems S L O W. So, I either spend another $10K on a power adder and suspension upgrades, or go with something else. I've decided that I want to trade for a GTO 6-speed. I'm still not crazy about the body styling, but the interior fit-and-finish and that sweet LS2 motor are calling my name BIG TIME!!
This is the first (and last) Ford I've owned...but I go way back with GM cars. I've owned a '55 Chevy Bel Air (a total POS that my brother and I attempted to restore), '69 Camaro RS Z-28, a '72 Olds Cutlass 442, and a '79 Pontiac Trans Am 10th Anniversary (plus various Chevy and GMC sport utes) and I'm really excited about the new GTO's. I definitely want the black interior, but I'm vacillating between the Phantom Black and the Midnight Blue exteriors.
Here my delema...is the '05 THAT much faster than the '04? I heard that the dealers are giving great deals to move out the '04's, but I dont want to get in the same rut I did with my Mustang and have to start adding mods to get it where I want. So, I'm wondering if the '05 is worth the added expense, or if the '04 would do the trick just fine.
What are your opinions?
